Made applesauce muffins allllll on their own today. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Something little that makes me happy: tiny bowls to soak nasturtium seeds that match the color of each variety. 😍
Didn’t have matching plates to keep them dark. But it’s still fun to see all the color sitting on the counter.
Mourning not getting to spend the day outside because even inside I’ve sneezed probably 70 times.
Atchafalaya Basin Swamp Tour
My cousin and her family came to visit us the past few days. So, we decided to do a swamp tour on the Atchafalaya Basin.
We chose McGee’s for several reasons: 1) We’ve heard good things. 2) My husband and I have been on a few swamp tours on a lake near our house, but have never done one in the Atchafalaya. So going somewhere new sounded good. 3) Their tour boats have taller sides than other boats we’ve been on, so it felt like a good choice for our kids’ first boat experience. 4) It’s only 15-ish minutes from our house!
We ended up having a(n unexpected) private tour on a really beautiful day!
I could’ve stayed on the boat all day. It’s so relaxing and the swamp is a different kind of beautiful, even in winter.
Of course, viewing wildlife was a highlight. We saw a mama and baby great horned owls, ospreys, and some gators (still a little chilly for a plethora of gators).
And we left with some fun souvenirs!
Then, we drove to Poche’s in Breaux Bridge for a yummy lunch.

Yesterday 💛💜💚
Birthday eats from yesterday: crawfish hand pies w/ crispy Brussels + blueberry cream cheese and Biscoff king cake cookies (and @Mtt’s choc chip cookie)
My dad called me earlier this evening and asked if I wanted a goose. 🪿
Louisiana’s “second winter” arrived (“almost, but not quite Spring” will be here next week, though, so it won’t last long), so cat snuggles this morning. Pretzel 🐈 was appreciative.
